[MOPO] The Oscars
It's the morning after, and overall, I thought it was a real snoozefest, Billy Crystal was entertaining, but *SO *familiar in everything he did and said. And was I the only one who kept wondering if he might have looked and performed better if he hadn't had his very obvious plastic surgery? And isn't it a bad sign when the best segment was the circus art, which has zero to do with movies. It hit me when they did the In Memorium segment, and there were tons of behind the scenes people no one knows, with a few famous faces thrown in. They have successfully turned the Oscars into the Golden Globes, filled with insiders and inside jokes, where they pretty much ignore the viewing public, and give the awards to the movies *THEY *like. the kind that the critics fawn over, but which not many people actually see. Of course, this transformation has been going on for many years, but at least they used to *pretend *to care about the people who make it all possible, those who buy the tickets. And in a day when movies face more and more competition from all sorts of other kinds of entertainment, it may not be just the awards ceremony that sees its number of viewers continuing to fall in coming years. This was once must-viewing for me. and I have watched it every year, but I think I will skip it next year. Bruce -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 24 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
What I LIKED about it this year was the emphasis on the love of movies. From the art deco movie theater backdrop to the interviews with stars about their first movie experiences and what movies mean to them, the show seemed to want to appeal to movie buffs, not just ticket buyers, and there is a difference. From what I have read, the producers finally gave up on the 16-24 demographic they have been chasing for the past 10 years and decided to focus on the older viewers who DO like older movies and movies meant for grownups. And that showed in the production. So if it seemed a little tired well, ahem, so is most of the audience. And In Memorium always features writers, editors and producers (though maybe Steve Jobs was a stretch), not just movie stars. My only criticism is, while the use of stills was appropriately sombre, the film montage they've used in the past worked much better. That said, I think they did a good job of paying tribute to those who passed...

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
I say why watch the Oscars when Walking Dead was on at the same time on AMC! Its a fun series and worth the watch! If you like Night of the living Dead or any of the multitude of Zombie movies that followed, I think you would love Walking Dead!

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
Sorry to disagree, Bruce, but several of us thought that, though it wasn't the greatest, that last night's Oscar presentation at LEAST paid attention to the professionals, living and passed on, who make up the world of movies...unlike the last two years when the production tried to cater to the People's Choice and Teeny-bop Awards. We could actually see the entire audience in the beautiful theatre last night-- instead of having it decorated like a studio for a game show, complete with peanut gallerey screaming, Pick me! Sorry, but SOMEONE has to take the higher road. I believe that OSCAR needs to be that someone. There is a huge international audience for the Oscars which negates the necessity to cater to the US's Text-Sending Teeny-Set. Don't worry about them.. Michael Bay the Vampire Crew. will see to it that they are well entertained and spend lots and lots of mommy-daddy money at the concession stands...and the grownups can snooze with pleasure through an Oscar program that honors Hugo rather than Transformers. When Oscar becomes the People's Choice, excellence in film will be buried under a heap of poot jokes and CGI. Sorry if my comments seem old-fashioned, but that's the way this movie fan sees it. Joe B in NOLA PS-- I thought the awards were well-apportioned on the whole. This year was all about the Nomination being the thing--- an excellent year for film. PPS-- But the choice NOT to bestow special honors on the Potter series with it's decade-long history of excellence in everything, was unfortunate...the night's biggest failing in my estimation.

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
Does anyone remember the exact year during the 1990s when an Oscar portrait was done at the end of the show? Each of the winners of an acting award from previous years who was present was sitting on stage and his/her name was mentioned. Shirley Temple (sitting next to Marissa Tomei) received the strongest applaus. Shelley Winters and Teresa Wright were also there. It would be nice if that would be a part of the show every few years.

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
Jim is right on target I watched the opening with Billy because I was at my sister-in-law's house and she wanted to see the opening. The most interesting thing to me was his face and why anyone would go through surgery to look like that. I was totally bored and found nothing funny. Though I must admit, I liked the Jennifer Lopez dress. I left the room and came back to see the circus act which was spectacular. Too bad it had nothing to do with the oscars.

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
Here we go again. Another round of Oscar-bashers! A much improved show. 1000% better than last year. Restored some organization to the proceedings, and I found Billy Crystal entertaining. Of course, the Academy voted for who THEY like; that's what they've always done. That's what we want them to do, isn't it? I don't want them voting for what the 14 year olds at the mall usually like. When they start doing that, you won't have to watch the LIVING DEAD WHATEVER because they will be them! Anyway there is the People's Choice awards for that kind of thing. I watched the Independent Spirit awards the night before and it was basically the same thing with different movies and a little less showbiz schtick. As far as the awards go, I was generally happy with all of them. But I was particularly pleased with Meryl Streep winning Best Actress for THE IRON LADY. I thought she was great in the film. And contrary to most critical reaction, I thought the movie was good too. And I was glad that RANGO won; I enjoyed that! THE ARTIST? I haven't seen it yet, but the people I know who have seem to like it a lot. So I'm headed there soon. I was glad that it did not win the screenplay award because I think a screenplay should have some dialogue. Disappointments? I am sorry that Terrence Malick's film did not win anything. I did not expect it to win. It is a remarkable piece of work. But then it joins a long list of other distinguished films that are not winners. Yet I am glad that Douglas Trumbull was honored. The special effects in THE TREE OF LIFE are, if anything, more spectacular than those in 2001. And yes, I liked the dinosaurs in that film. Whassup wi that? And the quintessential establishment film this year, MONEYBALL, a really fine commercial Hollywood film, was ignored. Anyway, if you feel like getting snarky about the Oscars, you can read Frank Bruni in the New York Times yesterday. He obviously got up on the WRONG side of the bed. One last Oscar-related tidbit. MGM will re-release BEN HUR in mid March for a few high resolution digital presentations in theaters. Kirby On Feb 27, 2012, at 8:35 AM, Neil Jaworski wrote: Steve Jobs was a stretch?

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
I actually thought it was one of the LEAST boring Oscar telecasts I've seen in a long time but then again I record the show on my DVR and only began to watch it at around 9.30 PM EST with a remote control in my hand. By the time 11 o'clock rolled around I was completely caught up, having not listened to any of the acceptance speeches I wasn't interested in or the commercials. (You do the math on that one.) I thought Billy Crystal got it right almost all night. I thought some of the choices on the video packages were strange especially the In Memorial segment which featured almost all still photos, odd for an event celebrating motion pictures. I didn't miss having to sit through the two ghastly Best Songs but the package assembled for Best Movie of the Year was wrong-headed, intercutting the clips from the best films so that one never got a taste for any of the nine films, just a stupid idea. I wasn't too upset with the actual awards last night, although I wish Hugo had taken either Best Movie or Best Direction. I was frankly expecting an old guard backlash with the totally ordinary The Descendants and George Clooney winning top awards and I'm glad that didn't happen. I would have preferred Viola Davis or Michelle Williams rather than Meryl Streep winning for a strong performance in an absolutely ghastly film but I'm also glad Woody Allen didn't win for his latest warmed-over opus. I guess I'm mellowing.

We could actually see the entire audience in the beautiful theatre last night-- instead of having it decorated like a studio for a game show, complete with peanut gallerey screaming, Pick me! Sorry, but SOMEONE has to take the higher road. I believe that OSCAR needs to be that someone. There is a huge international audience for the Oscars which negates the necessity to cater to the US's Text-Sending Teeny-Set. Don't worry about them.. Michael Bay the Vampire Crew. will see to it that they are well entertained and spend lots and lots of mommy-daddy money at the concession stands...and the grownups can snooze with pleasure through an Oscar program that honors Hugo rather than Transformers. When Oscar becomes the People's Choice, excellence in film will be buried under a heap of poot jokes and CGI. Sorry if my comments seem old-fashioned, but that's the way this movie fan sees it. Joe B in NOLA PS-- I thought the awards were well-apportioned on the whole. This year was all about the Nomination being the thing--- an excellent year for film.

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
Viola Davis or Michelle Williams rather than Meryl Streep winning for a strong performance in an absolutely ghastly film but I'm also glad Woody Allen didn't win for his latest warmed-over opus. I guess I'm mellowing. FRANC -Original Message- From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of Joseph Bonelli Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 9:55 AM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] The Oscars Sorry to disagree, Bruce, but several of us thought that, though it wasn't the greatest, that last night's Oscar presentation at LEAST paid attention to the professionals, living and passed on, who make up the world of movies...unlike the last two years when the production tried to cater to the People's Choice and Teeny-bop Awards. We could actually see the entire audience in the beautiful theatre last night-- instead of having it decorated like a studio for a game show, complete with peanut gallerey screaming, Pick me! Sorry, but SOMEONE has to take the higher road. I believe that OSCAR needs to be that someone. There is a huge international audience for the Oscars which negates the necessity to cater to the US's Text-Sending Teeny-Set. Don't worry about them.. Michael Bay the Vampire Crew. will see to it that they are well entertained and spend lots and lots of mommy-daddy money at the concession stands...and the grownups can snooze with pleasure through an Oscar program that honors Hugo rather than Transformers. When Oscar becomes the People's Choice, excellence in film will be buried under a heap of poot jokes and CGI. Sorry if my comments seem old-fashioned, but that's the way this movie fan sees it. Joe B in NOLA PS-- I thought the awards were well-apportioned on the whole. This year was all about the Nomination being the thing--- an excellent year for film. PPS-- But the choice NOT to bestow special honors on the Potter series with it's decade-long history of excellence in everything, was unfortunate...the night's biggest failing in my estimation.

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
Given his substantial contribution to the finished product, shouldn't Lodovic Bource have shared his Oscar with Bernard Herrmann for the score, or at the very least acknowledged him in his thank you speech? Personally I much preferred Howard Shore's more orchestral score for Hugo (and it was all his own work to boot).

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars
I had been wondering how this score got the award especially as a few years ago Johnny Greenwood's score for There Will be Blood was declared ineligable for an Oscar nomination for exactly this type of technicality. By the way Greenwood's score was the outstanding piece and a real shame it wasn't even in the running.

[MOPO] F The Oscars
I've spent over 10 years on Mopo, and every year it's the same thing. The show sucks, everybody watches it anyway, and then whines about it the next day. Man, I LOVE to bitch, kvetch and raise my voice in righteous indignation at the mediocrity being broadcast every year, but at some point, I made the decision to (drum roll) QUIT WATCHING. I started doing this 4-5 years ago and watching a couple really, really good films instead. It's 15 hours of my life I didn't piss away, and..well, last night, I watched A STAR IS BORN which I had never seen...on TCM. Lovely movie; the color was lush, the sound wonderful, and Garland was heartbreaking. I then watched MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, which I also loved. (If I was transported back to that time, I'd immediately find where Django Reinhardt was playing, get me a big bottle of Absinthe, and settle in for some serious guitar playing while green fairies danced around my head.) Than I watched my favorite guilty pleasure, THE WALKING DEAD. (Nathalie, do NOT watch this show, sweetie. You'll be in a rubber room forever.) A pal of mine defines insanity as doing the same thing over and over and and expecting different results. Sounds like the Oscars to me. I love my MOPO pals.

Re: [MOPO] F The Oscars
Oh, Greg. It's not THAT bad! In fact, last night it was pretty enjoyable. Of course, I am not among those who whine about them. I'll always watch The Oscars because I enjoy them, and I do not expect The Second Coming. I didn't care all that much for MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, but it wasn't the worst film either.

Also love watching the Oscars every year. Thanks to all who helped me find the Oscar Family Album portion of the 1997 Academy Awards. For those who are interested, the following Youtube links are of the part of that show when those who won previous awards for acting in starring and supporting roles were on stage and mentioned one at a time. A small clip of their role and each receiving the award are shown. They are alphabetical.
